Meji Restoration of Japan

Matthew Perry arrived to the coasts of Japan to negociate upon having the Japanese sign a trade treaty with the United States but the Japanese didnt want to, because they were so used to being isolated from the rest of the world. Then Commodore Matthew Perry sort of "bullied" the Japanese by showing off his boat that moved without sails. The Japanese were impressed because of course, the ships that the americans had were more modern than the Japanese. Japan had no choice but to grant what the United States had wished.
The Emporer of Japan who was very young, has lead Japan into modernization. He sent two people to the US and Europe to study their ways. After a long period of time Japan has started to improve. Japan became more modern, with a new government, and idustrialization just like Europe and United States.
Japan is an Archipalego because it is one country that has many groups of seprate islands.
